I'll tell him...He is a good guy....Good ole racer...He knows how it is in a pinch, and not having what you need of coarse he hs everything there with him .... Hey Hollar at use either here or Ky f-bodies...if you need any help....

 

Sure thing. I'd look into joining up with the club if I was a little closer to everything.

 

Who does your tuning???? How much power are you making??????

 

I did most of the tuning with LT1 Edit. I borrowed a file as a basis. I changed a few of the advance parameters, completely changed some others, and tweaked the VE's through datalogging. Last time I tried to dyno, optical sensor was failing and I could only make 367 to the wheels on a bad breakup. I'd really like to know myself. Like I told your friend Matt, there's a chance I might get to run the 1/8th this Saturday so we can all get a better idea of what my setup is worth. I have a BMR relocation crossmember on its way.

 

Hey Ben,

No, I looked like a fool all day. Changed something I shouldn't have. Couldn't touch the ground all day. Ken Anderson, and most everybody else was spinning some also. I know what it was, but didn't have the stuff with me so I could change it back at the track. Wasted day. Gotta learn what does not work, also. Just not as much fun to go that way at the time.

I also broke a gear, or somthing hard & noisey, in the trans on last attempt. They intend to open the track for testing the 1st weekend in Dec, weather permiting. I may fix it in time, just in case the weather is OK. Starting line may be too cold then, for sure. I'm too dumb to not try.

Take care, Ed

 

What was the tune you started with from??? Its gonna be hard to get it dialed in close without a dyno tune, or at least getting a base tune from mail order or something like that especially with a uncommon cam...since you have the logging capabilities ....Have you sent it to a tuner just to see where you are and see what you could change to get you closer tune wise....I noticed going down the track that it seemed to be way rich....Might look into that...

 

LOL ....Have you seen the video I sent you....??? I don't have as big of a problem as you do....THANK GOODNESS but I do need some help in the 60' dept. still 1.61's
Pete Z bars ...Need info...

 

Did your speedo come out close?

Ed

 

Ben, You talking to me? I'm at home, the video should be there when I get in tomorrow morning. Pete Z is the fix. No sway bars, air bags, LCA brackets, etc. If Pete tells you a ****-ant will pull a frieght train, just hook that little sucker up.

Take care, Ed

 

Hey Ed can you shoot me a mail on how to get ahold of him?

 

If it isn't dead on, it's damn close. How'd you do that? Thanks again for fixing that, you're awesome.

 

dhdenney Whats you name BTW....Its better to know a name rather than a Screenname...
I am sorry about stealing your thread ....Ed is a knowledgeable guy and is the best tuner in my book that you can get....Might get him to take a look at your logs for ya....I noticed that pass you made it was running way rich , Black smoke all the way down the track....
ED I'll PM you ....

 

I guess you already KNOW about ED...ooops...
Matt are you taking notes on the Pete Z bar....
Ed... we need some info on Pete....

 

Ellis, I'll have to email it to you tomorrow. That is not what I use, but his set up is real close. I made my deal up, parts of it are from what I bought from him. Almost all the fast LT1/LS1 F body NHRA Stock Eliminator guys use him. His is a bolt-on deal. A couple of years ago I was asking around at the Ennis race, and got the same answer from every one. If he has a web site, I don't know about it. Nice, but busy guy.

F.J. Smith makes a similar set up, and I think Madman may also. I imagine F.J. Smith's will be more expensive. Everything I bought from Smith was very nice, but also a bit pricey. He has a lot of "Firebird stocker" chassis parts listed. Don't know why he doesn't include Camaro in that. Same parts, right? Smith does have a web site.

Take care, Ed

 

Great. Your welcome, glad to help.

Take care, Ed

 

My name's Nathan. I don't care about stealing the thread, I just wanted everyone to know that I broke my tailshaft so others will be aware and upgrade! I wasn't aware of the black smoke. I was in the 94 T/A, black with orange stripes, ram air hood. Sure that was me? Last time I dynoed, my opti was failing but the a/f ratio was a solid 13:1 and I haven't changed anything.

 

Nathan, I have had cars with EVAP problems do that. You can try, at the track, disconnecting the EVAP hose that runs along with the plastic fuel lines coming into the engine compt. Could be intermittently getting a big shot of fuel tank vapors going down the track. If you unplug the purge solenoid you might need to leave the gas cap loose. I have poked around in those files a little and it appears it would take some code changes to prevent purging the tank at WOT. Probably change the "Purge above _ % throttle angle" to Purge below _ % throttle angle". I can shut purge off but that would cause fuel tank venting problems. Need to look into that in my spare time. (What's that?)

Take care, Ed

 

Yeah pretty sure the same car that was sitting on the return rode, had a padded cage in it, with vette wheels on the back......???

 

Are you running z bars now? Reason why I ask is because I made my own set of z bars a few months ago and last time I was at the track I popped one of my springs out of the top pocket on the rear. I'm slow but it still lifts the back of the car way up on launch (or on the street as far as that's concerned) and I was wondering if adjustable shocks on the back would tone that down a bit. They definitely plant the tires good though.

 

Yeah that's mine. Have my slicks mounted on those wheels. I'll pick through my flash file per Ed's pointer and see if I can eliminate the purge problem (I imagine he knows what he's talking about ). BTW, I got a tailshaft today for $10 at the transmission place. I got it without the TA mount since my BMR relocation will be here soon.
